Butcher and Blackbird by Brynne Weaver

dark funny tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I had really high hopes for "Butcher and Blackbird" and the FOMO was real. It took me a bit to get into the book, but by the time they were in the first part of the game, the story really picked up.
However, the sex scenes were too much for me. It felt like the author added excessive details just to fill pages and increase the character count. I didn't think these scenes added to the story; instead, they took away from it.
That said, I did get really into the story close to the end. I was on the edge of my seat and eager to read the next book quickly. But when the book ended, I found myself feeling indifferent about starting the next one. I might pick up book two later on, but overall, I just didn't love this book.
